Probably a little biased, I'd be more suspicious of her if they were a breakout team and this was her first time through the tests. Why would she suddenly start taking it now? I guess stranger things have happened but the timing is weird.

Homan 3-0 at Worlds, of course
Looking forward to a finals showdown with reigning 4 time champ Tirinzoni

Canada, Italy and Suisse are 4-0

Tomorrow Canada plays Italy in the morning and Suisse at night.

Game was closer than it probably should have been. Homan was fabulous, as usual. The 'late' draw vs Tirinzoni should be fun!

Homan is one of the top shot makers in all of curling right now, she is just making everything. Fleury was struggling this morning and Homan made a triple followed by a double to limit the Italians to a 2 in the 5th? End. Just hope she can keep it rolling.

Team Homan is just on an amazing roll right now. Only 5 losses so far this season, undefeated at the Scotties and so far at the Worlds. This is the type of momentum any team would love to bottle up and save for 2026. They really look cohesive with Fleury now, after a shakier season last year.

I am simply in awe of her.
She will make a 6 second triple with first and throw the second right on the button. Absolute precision

Turkiye would have beaten every other team tonight.

Homan's shots in 10th were remarkable. Top curlers might make that shot 1 in 4 times. Homan did it twice in a row

Amazing week. Two very tough wins against Korea and Switzerland. Team Homan was determined and kept battling. The call to go for 3 in the 9th end was gutsy and I think it kind of took the wind out of Switzerland’s sails. Go Canada!

Team Homan really earned this, they were the best team all week and defeated a true champion to take gold. It is simply amazing the way these ladies balance their marriages, families, processional commitments, travel and curling, they are tremendous role models.

We've never seen Rachel Homanthis focused and she really turned it on with the force in 8 double followed by the split for 3 in the 9th which was a game changer and total team effort.

Did Paetz really not even hit the house with her last rock? What the heck happened there?

Homan is unstoppable this year!

If Homan has her draw weight figured out, she's nearly impossible to beat.

Fantastic to have a Canadian world champ again. Is it too much to hope that this rink keeps their mojo for another two years?

Shouldn't be. They are huge favorites now. Jones is retired and Einarson's team has peaked, especially with the Harris suspension. Anyone else? Lawes isn't quite an experienced skip yet.

The Homan foursome is so experienced. Remember, Fleury really should have gone to the Beijing games. Wrecked on the guard with her last shot in the trails and the team broke up. Fine margins.
